I find it worrying that in the 'Blender 2.5' video the guy mentionned how he had been using Blender for over 6 years and yet had no idea what were half of the modelling buttons..
I've been using Blender for 3 years now, that these are the buttons I use primarily when moddeling..

Yeah. They're really useful if you can't remember what key brings the tool up.

It's kind of odd, I thought other modelers had buttons to do tasks and Blender was odd because people missed all the little (sometimes fiddly) buttons to do specialized tasks.

Well, blender 2.5 is a total redo of the UI, so it makes sense that it wouldn't be familiar to an experienced user, no?

I kind of feel that much of what he touts as new, isn't new at all... :7

I'm curious about what our resident Caligari user think of the new panel design.. :7

I am actually quite fond of the current setup and GUI.

One part i'm to looking forward to is when you start a new scene, you are immediately confronted with an unusual perspective, forcing to change to a front, side or top perspective.

I do however like the overall feel of it, feels more like a professional animation and modeling suite.

I do agree that it is difficult to find some thing, often searching the web only to find that you missed what you're searching for by one panel
